subject: How Green Building Materials Are Safe For Environment [print this page] Business is no longer profit and loss it also has social responsibility of maintaining a green and sustainable environment.
A Green Building Product will not only remove harmful elements it will also create a safe, clean and healthy environment. Green Tiles are Natural Floor Tiles with embedded micrometric particles of titanium dioxide act in an amazing three fold combination. They fight and reduce air pollution which creates respiratory health problems, are antibacterial eliminating extremely harmful bacteria and last but not least, are dirt busters.
Main air pollutants are nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds mostly produced by burning of fossil fuels. Titanium oxide triggers a photo catalysis action that breaks down these harmful substances into innocuous nitrates, carbonates and sulphates, leaving the air cleaner and healthier.
Titanium dioxide has a similar catalysis activity on several harmful and life threatening bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, the Klebsiella pneumoniae that frequently lives and multiplies in hospitals and clinics and Escherichia coli. Photo catalysis causes irreparable damage to the cell walls so that they decompose and the bacteria die. Titanium dioxides hydorphilia activity makes it easier to wash away dirt with water, reducing cleaning chemicals usage.
Areas of application
Green Tiles are used in heavy duty areas like airports, railway and metro stations, bus depots etc. Of vital importance is application in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. Hospitality industry like hotels, resorts, spas, cruise ships, restaurants also benefit. Schools and colleges, use them as well as the commercial sector of offices, shopping malls and the entertainment segment. Green Tiles of course are used widely in single homes, apartments, planned housing developments etc.
Sustainable Building Materials
In the building material industry, the focus has been to create and develop a range of Environment Friendly Building Products suitable for specific applications.
Aureole Roof Tile, a new roof tile that improves quality of air, is self cleaning and anti mold.
De polluting Green Tile uses recycled material and is applicable for floors and facades, reduces air pollution, is antibacterial, anti dirt and is low maintenance. Sun Tiles are solar energy panels. Virgin Carpet, a pro environment, green and sustainable natural broadloom wool carpet is the eco choice for furbishing your interiors. Organic Bed range uses environment friendly certified organic latex for mattresses, sofas and furniture and original merino wool for blankets.
Environmental Friendly Building Products besides being durable also help build a world that is safe, clean and healthy.
